What Native people say about the use of sage: you can use sage, but you cannot smudge as nothing you are doing (waving sage around) is actually smudging. Smudging is a ceremony and you are, we promise, not smudging. Please buy sage from either us, or someone who sources the sage from us. White sage may not be considered endangered by the US government but corperate sourcing is making it difficult for us to source sage for our own religious purposes. Let alone to sell it.

What white people hear: never use sage ever, don’t ever buy it, don’t own it, don’t even look at it.

Look, y’all. There’s a couple of facets to my talk today.

1) Yes! You can buy sage! You really, truly can! Buy it from either native sellers (go to a powwow! Eat our food, buy our stuff, watch some dancing!) Or buy it from a seller who sources the sage from native people. Pick one. And no, buying it from 5 Below doesn’t count.

2) you CANNOT smudge. This isn’t just you “shouldn’t”— this is a YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF SMUDGING. Waving a sage stick around your doorways IS NOT SMUDGING. It is smoke clensing. Smudging, depending on the tradition and tribe, could easily have dancing and drums involved. You, as a white person, do not have the cultural BACKGROUND to even know how it works. At all. Period.

3) please, for FUCKS SAKE, stop making posts here on tumblr where you tell other white people about cultural appropriation and what they can and cannot do. Please stop, your license has been revoked because none of you bother to get the facts right. We native people are FULLY CAPABLE OF DOING IT OURSELVES. Consider instead: a) reblogging our posts where we talk about it! We’re here! We have made posts!! b) Making a post that states what we said and then LINKS BACK TO US. Screenshot with a link if you must. Stop centering your own voices in these conversations. You are already centered in everything, stop centering yourselves in a native space.

I’m tired of this nonsense, y’all.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk ™

black is a protective color!

💰✨Broke Witch Tips✨💰

Wal-Mart has incense sticks/cones in packs of 40 for 84¢ and a standard wood burners for 84¢ as well. Add the cost of a lighter and you can now cleanse anything for less than $4.00

If you want to get a little fancier, Wal-Mart also has decorative incense stick holders and cone covers from $4-$10 I have a flower blossom stick holder I got for $5 that not only looks adorable but comes with quite a bit of incense in the set

Around back to school time, notebooks are very cheap-for my first/rough draft grimoire I got a pretty pink composition notebook for 50¢ and a pack of pens for $1.00-use this to record all the information you want to put in your final draft grimoire here (and honestly it’s great to have just a little book that I don’t care if it gets battered up)

Like pasta? Save your sauce jars, wash them out well, and BOOM-spell jars.  I’ve been living off shells with Alfredo sauce and I’m saving up tons and tons of jars

DOLLAR STORES-literally most of my witchy stuff I got at my local dollar store. Dollar stores are the absolute best for finding candles. They have tall candles, short candles, tea candles, votive candles, scented candles, unscented candles, LED candles, candle holders, you name it, dollar stores have it. So far from my local dollar store I’ve gotten

3 tall, unscented candles in glass jars (1 white, 1 yellow and 1 blue)

a 16 PACK of unscented tea candles. that’s right, SIXTEEN. for a DOLLAR. that’s less than 10¢ a candle

a really adorable holder for said tea candles

a 2 pack of white, unscented taper candles

a medium sized LED candle (batteries were included in this one, but that was the only one I could find with batteries included, however most dollar stores also sell batteries)

Don’t have the space for a big tabletop altar (also for closeted witches)? a tin of mints is around $2.50 and, empty of mints, makes a great tiny, hide-able altar space. it fits conveniently in a purse or bag and won’t arouse suspicion. Tape sigils to the inside, spell recipes on tiny cards, chants, a tea light and a lighter, the possibilities are endless

follow crystal shops on Instagram, a lot of crystal shops will have ‘flash sales’ on social media, so you can scoop up great crystals for a good price

Shadow work

Hello friends.

I’ve recently been delving into shadow work and OUCH.

It hurts but it is SO necessary. Processing trauma and learning and healing is WORTH IT. Get to know yourself and spend time with you.

I’ve found incredible meaning behind my “negative” thoughts, habits, responses, actions and behaviors.

Really be honest with yourself and reflect on who you are. Do not judge yourself.

Some prompts I’ve tried include:

What are you in search of?

What are you neglecting to heal?

Where are you directing your energy?

What is one thing that has happened in your life that made you feel weak or powerless?

What are your triggers?

In what ways are you being inauthentic with yourself and others?

If you want to start please proceed with caution. It’s heavy stuff. Take care of yourself before and after. Be kind to yourself. Notice and be aware of how this practice changes you.

If you need professional help please seek it. This is not meant to replace therapy or having a good support system.

Embrace your shadow self my lovelies ✨

Energetic Blockages

Energetic blockages are energetic barricades that get in the way of your energy, and do not allow it to flow properly. Energetic blockages are created through various different means such as, but not limited to negative energy, negative thoughts, and feelings, self doubt, curses, being too open, or too closed, and many other things along those lines. These energetic blockages can form in any spot in your energetic body, and will not allow your spiritual energy to flow smoothly, or even at all. This can unbalance your energy centers. This can lead to a myriad of different problems depending on where the energy blockage is located. For example if an energy blockage formed around, or in your throat energy center you will have a harder time communicating, or expressing yourself. It may even take the forms of more physical ailments such as a sore neck, or headache.

One way to find out if you have an energy blockage is to scan your body. To do this all you need to do is take your projecting, or power hand, and run it over spots on your body, while you project energy, and feel into your aura. When you come to a spot that is energy blocked you will feel a different sensation than the rest of your body. This could be felt as a more dense, and compact place of energy, or it could be like a bunch of energy moving insanely quickly in every direction. You might not even spiritually feel it, but much rather get a sense that something is not right in this area. Another way to find energy blockages is that you will usually be able to feel them when you have them, since certain ailments are caused by them. This could be a whole plethora of different things, and could lead you to the source of the energy blockage via what it is screwing up.

You can clear these energy blockages through spiritual practices such as meditation, reiki, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, acupuncture, and many other varying types of spiritual practices. Certain gemstones, and crystals can also help you clear energy blockages in your body based on the energy frequency they emit. All you have to do is look up stones that are connected with the specific part of your body where you think the energy blockage is located. Some stones that would be good for healing energy blockages would be fluorite, black tourmaline, bloodstone, green calsite, and shungite. Once you obtain the stones keep them near you so there energy can be absorbed into your body. If stones are not your thing you can always use herbs to unblock the energy blockages in your body. These can be burned, eaten, or turned into oils to anoint certain parts of your body. Some herbs that are overall good for energy blockages are herbs like basil, sage, rosemary, clove, and lavender. To prevent energetic blockages before they happen the practitioner should take special care to always shield, and ground themselves when it is needed. It is very easy for these blockages to occur when you are unbalanced, or under some form of stress. Learning how to control this may help you to reduce the amount of energy blockages you get.

Energetic blockages are a common occurrence that all practitioners should be aware of. Most of the time these blockages are more minor inconveniences, and do not do much to impede your life, but learning how to control and get rid of them is a very useful skill anyone can benefit from.
